Report: Spyker to Show Porsche 911-Fighter at Geneva

Although lately best-known for its investor role in the melodrama of the Saab wind-down, Dutch automaker Spyker is still around, and still making the C8 boutique sports cars. But as seems to be the case with luxury brands around the world, Spyker is not content with (or can't survive on) just selling a handful of exclusive boutique models only within the price range of a select global elite.

According to a report from Dutch media outlet Telegraaf.nl, Spyker CEO Victor Muller is planning a surprise for the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in the form of lower-priced sports car targeted at the Porsche 911. Details on the car are scarce, and Muller isn't saying much either, quoted by Telegraaf as saying "I say nothing other than it will surprise you. Come to our conference."The Spyker C8 Aileron sells for around $200,000, and is powered by an Audi V-8 engine. The base Porsche 911 Carrera starts at $85,250, and the top-of-the-line 911 Turbo S convertible more than doubles that figure at $173,050.

Production tooling for the new model has reportedly already been ordered, and is in the process of being installed at the Spyker plant in Zeewolde. Stay tuned for our coverage of the 2013 Geneva Motor Show for the reveal of the mysterious new Spyker.Source: Telegraaf.nl
